Hahaha..Only a tip of the iceberg ? Guess Liam is in trouble or what do y’all think he should do? ;)
Liam's POV "No!" "Your Highness-" "It is not up for debates," I shook my head and turned my face away from him with my arms folded. "Would you rather I die at the bottom of the sea?" I scoffed, "You said it yourself, you'll be fine." "Your Highness, the solution to your wellbeing is only one call away," Andre pointed out but I had my foot down. I wasn't going to allow myself to be mated to a weak orphaned Beta from a different territory like herself. She was a complete pushover who let others take advantage of her. "Andre, I don't see you leaving for the sea," I reminded him and when I looked at him, he was staring at me in disbelief. "You would rather send me to my death than be with your mate?" "When you swore an oath to protect me with your life, did you think that was a joke? I am not letting that woman-" I gagged a little and I paused as I felt the pressure rise in my chest. He moved to grab the bowl but I shook my head. I cleared my throat and continued, "…come anywher
Aurelia’s POV"M-My body?" I stammered as I stared at him in shock. The serious look on his face told me he wasn't joking. I was yet to recover when he suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards my bed. I heard the door slam shut and my heart jumped."You Highness please wait-""I've endured enough. You're driving me crazy. Do you know who I am? I am the Lycan King!" he boasted and each word added a beat to my heart. "Come here," I gasped when he pulled me down onto his lap."Now stay still," he gruffed and rested his head on my heaving chest.My eyes widened and a whimper escaped my lips, "Your highness-""I need silence," he stated and his shoulders came up and down in a sigh.Different thoughts raced in my head but I didn't dare say a thing. I heard him inhale deeply and I wondered if he was taking in my scent.Had he come all the way just for that? He already rejected me as his mate so why was he coming to me?My back was arched and his hands rested lazily on the low of my bac
Aurelia's POV He was sniffing me again like he couldn't get enough of me. It left me with a weird feeling. Was this the effect of the rejection? I knew how much he tried to deny the mate bond between us. Seeing him act like this only made me wonder how much he hated it. Or did the mate bond on his end grow stronger after the rejection? I could only wonder as asking him was out of the options. Even with that, my cheeks were flustered and my body reacted to his touch in ways I had never experienced for another. Everywhere he touched left a spark that needed his special attention. "I-I was only talking to Andre," I said to him and tried to lean into his touch without his knowledge. In my defence, he came to me first and I was only following his lead. I blamed him for making me want his touch so bad. In two days I thought I had lost my mate forever. Even if I didn't feel the mate bond, I couldn't erase the fact that I once felt it. "Do you know what happened to me when you left th
Aurelia's POVI squeezed my fist on my thighs as I sat uncomfortably in his chambers. I could feel several stares on my skin and I didn't dare lift my head up."Do you feel any better now?" Andre asked expectantly. He sounded like a child whose promise was delivered.I couldn't stop thinking about that wink and those words of misconception. He was probably thinking the same thing.My cheeks heated as I bit my bottom lip softly."His colour already looks bright," this was Emma and she sounded heavy in thought. I wondered what was heavy in her heart, it was too impossible to miss.I stared down at the jean and round neck top I was wearing and was thankful that his highness had listened when I begged him to at least let me take a shower.He let me into his bathroom that looked like a mini lake but was wide enough to fit at least a hundred people.I showered as quickly as I could as every now and then he would threaten to kick the door open. The thought that he was at the other side of th
Aurelia's POVI didn't know he meant every word he spoke when he said 'I better get used to it.' For the next couple of days, I was only allowed to be three feet away from him even when he had his bath.I would sit a few feet away and keep my eyes lowered as the maids added beautiful scents to the water and also washed his hair while he relaxed against the edge of the lake sipping a drink.But every now and then It was as though I could feel his gaze on me.My cheeks would hurt from all the crazy thoughts and imaginations that filled my mind but I never raised my head until it was time for him to leave so I could have my bath.Of course, I asked for my privacy. I'd send the maids and guards away and the King would stare down at me with a strange look in his eyes like he was trying to piece me together.He would wait outside the door and whenever I took too long, according to him, he would bang the door and threaten to come in.I definitely wanted him to come in...oh fuck my thoughts!
Aurelia's POVI was seated in his study room again today while he spoke with Emma and Andre. I rested my eyes as I willingly spaced out on their conversation.I guess I should be paying attention to pack matters since I was going to be Luna-No! I frowned at the thought, sending it packing as quickly as it came. When did I start to think things like that? I was clearly getting ahead of myself.I found that I was getting too comfortable with the King's daily attention and it worried me. He found the littlest excuse to reach for me and share physical contact. While it made me blush whenever he was fast asleep or whenever I could get some alone time, it also left a dreadful feeling in my heart.His attitude around me was changing drastically. His eyes would search for me to make sure I was where he dropped me and whenever they landed on me, I could see relief and a smile in his eyes.The King was making my heart beat faster whenever I thought about him and when he was close to me. I had
Aurelia's POVMy legs moved on their own. In my defence, I needed to quiet and soothe my wolf.This wasn't me trying to assure myself that the King still needed me by his side. Why would I need assurance? He rejected me after all and even if the mate bond was repaired, that didn't mean he wanted me by his side as a mate."I'll just go in to check if he's fine," I said to myself as I chewed on my fingernail out of nervousness. "I'm sure he is. If he's not, I'll stay by his side. If he is, I'll return to my bedroom. Yes, I'm free at last."But why wasn't I happy about the prospect of going back to sleep in my room?The thought of being away from my mate and not knowing when next he would need me by his side, struck fear in my heart.What if he ended up rejecting me again this time and the bond was truly severed?Was it even possible to be rejected twice?I shook my head and I stared long and hard at the door. I grabbed the door knob but it was suddenly pulled open.My heart jumped as I
Aurelia's POV "What happened to you?" Liam asked in a soft voice as he pulled me away from his embrace to stare into my face. My cheeks were coated with tears and I drew in every breath slowly as if afraid I would have a panic attack if I rushed my explanation. His hands gripped my shoulders, forcing me to stare up at him. Under my blurry vision, I could make out lines of worry on his brows. His expression almost made me laugh. Why did he look like he was ready to rain down hell on who had made me cry? My mate searched my eyes in silence and his expression only hardened. Was he concerned, but why? "Why do you keep crying?" he asked again but this time, it felt like he was asking himself. "I don't know what to do," he trailed off, mumbling some words as his eyes wandered but mine focused on the movement of his mouth. His lips were full with a Cupid's bow arched perfectly on the top. They were very inviting but ...they seemed cold. Those lips spoke to me in such a comforting way
